Stellantis continues its drive to make brands easily accessible to customers through its multi-franchise dealer network with the addition of Jeep and Fait brands to Williams Hunt Fourways in Johannesburg, part of CFAO Mobility, and the same addition applies to the Westvaal Motor Group in Menlyn, Pretoria.
Stellantis brands will also be added to a multi-franchise dealership at the new Williams Hunt The Glen facility where Opel, Citroën, Peugeot, Jeep® and FIAT will now be available. This is also part of the CFAO Mobility group.
CFAO Mobility has extensive representation in Gauteng and nationally, ensuring peace-of-mind for new Jeep and Fiat brand customers to the group and with all the brands now at The Glen dealership. The group’s history stretches back to the Unitrans Group, which started in 1903. The group has continued to develop to become one of the largest automotive retailers in South Africa.
“We’re excited to be expanding our relationship with CFAO Mobility, providing efficiencies for their business through ours, which will ultimately allow more time to service customers,” says Mike Whitfield, Managing Director of Stellantis South Africa.
Leading the team and operations at Williams Hunt Fourways is Dealer Principal, Lionel Pillay, supported by Divisional Director, André Jordan. “Our commitment to delivering quality products and services is unwavering,” says Lionel. “We are dedicated to providing our customers with exceptional service and support, tailoring a solution to meet specific needs, irrespective of budget.”
At Williams Hunt the Glen, the Dealer Principal is Kuben Chetty. “We are very excited about our collaboration with Stellantis and the recently acquired Jeep and FIAT franchises,” says Kuben. “We aim to keep our staff highly motivated and trained to ensure excellent and efficient service in order to cultivate the Williams Hunt culture of creating customers for life.”
At Westvaal in Menlyn, Pretoria, the new brands will now be available at the group’s impressive facility in Pretoria and adds to the Westvaal Motor Group representation of Stellantis brands across six provinces.
Westvaal Motor Group’s existing incorporation into Stellantis provides a valuable experience set for customers from a dealer business that really understands the products it sells and services. Westvaal’s history stretches back to 1975, from where it grew to 28 dealerships across South Africa.
“We’re excited to be expanding our relationship with the Westvaal Motor Group, providing efficiencies for their business and ours, which will ultimately allow more time to service customers,” says Mike Whitfield, Managing Director of Stellantis South Africa.
Leading the team at Westvaal Menlyn is Dealer Manager, Wessel Marais. “We are excited to house these new brands at our class-leading facility at Westvaal Menlyn, also home to Opel, Citroën and Peugeot and will ensure that our service delivery will be above and beyond the expectations of our customers,” says Wessel.

The Nissan Magnite seems to have captured the imagination of traditional as well as new buyers of the brand. With an updated Magnite recently launched and arriving at dealerships currently, there is good interest from prospective buyers of small Crossovers with a strong SUV character.
As 2024 draws to a close, I think it is pertinent to look back at some of the articles that I have written this year. I always try to concentrate on the basics and very often they are the areas of a dealership that need continuous and regular focus.
